Lowah, Alaska was a quiet, little town in the middle of nowhere until workers sent by an American corporation arrived to reopen its long closed mine. Protests erupted but they were nothing to what was coming next. No one knew the Sasquatch tribes in the woods surrounding the town had claimed the mine as their own until it was too late. Like a wave death, a seemingly unstoppable army of monsters spilled forth from the trees to drench the streets of Lowah red with blood.
This story moved right along with rampaging Bigfoot running around everywhere. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I will admit, it has more gore than I prefer but I skipped over those paragraphs once limbs starting coming off or guts started spilling out.
Enjoyed the characters and thought more than once that the author depicted humans as most probably would be in a situation like this. Like when someone is hiking in the woods and they hear a commotion up ahead that sounds like wild animals. Why do they have to creep ahead trying to get a look at it? Because curiosity kills the cat, and the humans.
Personally, I'd run my ass off hoping whatever it was didn't hear or smell me. Who needs to get closer to identify it? Live to hike another day.
This is the first book I read by Eric Brown, I have since read most of his other books. Lots of action, fights, gore, guns, huge wild Bigfoots. Eric does a great job bringing the candy to the scene. It is entertaining story about the mysterious beasts we love to be scared of possibly lurking in the woods somewhere.
So the action and gore was there and the good vs evil was there but I hate that the good guys and girls always die in the end of the author’s books! Come on, Mr Brown please spare the good guys! I know that the Sasquatch are killing everyone but spare somebody! The prepper guy should have been safe in his bunker! If he had prepared for the zombie apocalypse then the door should have been strong enough to keep the Sasquatch out! And why did they go after the guy anyways? What made them hell bent to break in there? And the guy had grenades! Why not rig them up around his bunker? And then there was the national guard. Why not drop bombs or missiles from airplanes. They knew the town was empty. They could have destroyed the Sasquatch without losing all those guardsmen. So many ways to destroy Sasquatch without harming the people. Oh well I guess that’s what sells the books.
